Shattered Then Loved

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

For the past twenty years, Shen Siyin has persistently and stubbornly loved a man named Xiao Zonghan. Even if she was resented and hated by him, she never thought of giving up.

But now ... she really can't stand it any more.

After sending away Lin Lao, Shen Siyin's face was pale.

"If Mrs' body can be taken good care of, it should still be a year ..." Lin Lao's words seemed to reverberate in her ears, and it also seemed to be blocked by a wall.

She was light-minded and didn't know what she should do.

"Bang!" the door was opened from the outside.

Such a loud noise.

Shen Siyin turned and looked around. The next moment, the two tangled figures slammed into her eyes.

"Master, your wife is still ..." Under the men's military uniforms, Chu Qingwan, the charming first card of Happiness Land, poked out her head.

It was a provocative voice with a bit of complaint.

A pair of bright eyes were hiding in the man's arms, but they were a little provocative and disdainful.

"Don't worry about her," the man drew his thin lips, and looked at her "You should be a dead person.", so frosted and cold.

The long eyelashes trembled and the heart dulled, as if being crushed by someone.

Shen Siyin pursed her lips. He was right, she was ... dying.

The corners of her mouth moved, and she wanted to give a smile to Xiao Zonghan, just like she always did when he brought a woman back. But this time ... she didn't succeed. Her cheeks stiff, her nose sour, and she couldn't pull a decent smile no matter how hard she tried.

"Well," a sneer, the man's deep eyes glanced over her face "What, Siyin, you can't finally pretend this time?" He hooked his lips, looking at her, the eyes full of irony and contempt. .

This woman was obviously vicious, but she must pretend to be pure and affectionate.

He wanted to see how long she could stand it.

Shen Siyin's pale face turned whiter and her body shook.

For so many years, she thought she had been used to this man's words ... his indifference, his sarcasm, his disgust, but why? Every time, She still felt the pain in the heart?

She wanted to leave and escape from this place!

Just turned around, she was yanked.

The man's gaze fell unscrupulously on the person in front of him, from top to bottom, layer by layer, as if to tear her completely. Shen Siyin's face turned red, and she wanted to struggle. In the next moment, the man's hand touched her cheek ...

"Zonghan ..." she murmured.

For a moment, she almost thought she saw tenderness in his eyes.

Of course, the next second, the corner of the man's mouth suddenly stunned "Siyin, are you trying to seduce me with such look?"
